Yes, but they'll need shorter screws, or need to shorten the ones that come with it. A word of caution; if they don't shorten the screws enough then they'll dimple the base of the skis when they install the bindings. Ask my wife how we know this... :angry:

Why not use the absorption pad? I'll always champion flat mounting bindings for bump skis, but 3mm isn't that much, plus you get some shock absorption out of it, and it probably reduces the severity of the massive dead spot the PX12s make.

why does the pad even matter?
As far as mogul skiing goes, "they" say that the binding should be flat on the ski. I cut all my screws and took out the lift on all my bindings (Look PX14, Rossi Axial 120, Look Pivot12) before last season. It was like night and day.
Okay, that's not true......I really couldn't tell the difference :-?.

If you really can't tell the difference, I won't be able to.... hadn't considered Mondeo's dead spot issue, but again, that may be something only noticeable to the zipperline rippers and not me...I will need to ponder more...
If it were me I'd probably try them with the absorption pad in place. If you decide you don't like it then you can always take it out later.
Does it make any difference as to which I try first???-- try without (shorter screw holes) and than maybe with later-- or with (longer screw holes) and then take them out? Again, my guess is I will be happy with whichever... prolly will just mount them as is as you suggest and go from there...
Now, once I start zipperlining about Feb I may need to revisit...

If you tried it without first, and then switched to with, the screws would have less thread to dig in with.(that is if you cut them of course)

Exactly. If you're not entirely sure, try with first. And then if you decide to ditch the absorption pad, make sure you take them to a good shop if you're not a DIY expert. The shop I took my bindings to to have flat-mounted on my Line Celebrities (bindings that came with the lifter so required screw-shortening) dimpled one of my skis--didn't fix it!--and then tried to pass it off as nothing. :angry:
